AlfAlfA

The prettiest pigeon of Breda

Since 2008 muralist and illustrator Nicolás Sánchez, alias AlfAlfA (VE) has been focusing on urban street art and started by creating small and medium-sized murals, nowadays he mostly makes large-scale murals. He’s inspired by mythology and local legends and traditions. His work can be seen all over the world, in countries such as Venezuela, Argentina, Bolivia, England, Spain and India.

For this mural, of a pigeon dressed in traditional Dutch attire, AlfAlfA took inspiration from the many pigeon breeders that once lived around Dijklaan. At least 14 pigeon breeders supposedly lived in the area, among which also the former Dutch pigeon sport champion.
